| Summary: | Engineering undergraduates not only need to learn facts, but also how to be creative in the open-ended situations they will
encounter in their professional careers. Our final year Honours module gives students a grounding in digital systems design,
mainly using VLSI for design entry and simulation. The second half of our module is a design exercise, which has
straightforward aspects, but which allows motivated students to undertake progressively open-ended investigations. Our
educational framework is guided by recommendations of professional bodies promoting excellence and encouragement of
creativity in engineering development. |
